I think this is the flatter and extending to the side style, so about the mid 1700's? I would have loved that this doll was earlier, but it does help establish that the doll styles stayed the same for quite some time, so that's good too. thanks alexandria oh, yes, last week I got this package from Denmark and my roommate wants to open it to see what it is. He especially wants the stamps from the package. :) told him was a christmas present and he couldn't touch it yet.

It started to be a dome shaped pannier, became flattened and started to extend to the sides. Then in the 1760ies it grew smaller again, and ended up with bumrolls in 1770ies and 80ies. The french claims it is english invention, english vise versa. French story was that two english ladies walked in a park with huge panniers in a french park, and they started a fashion very quickly. The english version, i dont know.
